The FP/NIMO Integration works seamlessly within the FocalPoints environment, leveraging Lambda-X NIMO’s unique features. The integration streamlines inspection with a simple barcode scan to start measurements, automatic transfer of measured parameters, and fast, intuitive access to quantitative and qualitative controls. The included Powermap Comparison Engine (PCE) adds a powerful tool for evaluating complex lens designs and it's essential for assessing HOA Corrected lenses.
INTEGRATED INSPECTION MODULES
FocalPoints provides a complete set of modules for inspecting soft and RGP lenses at every stage. These modules guide Operators through dry, final, hydrated, and wetted inspections, ensuring both qualitative and quantitative evaluations. On-screen details, target values, and tolerance ranges streamline decision-making, and any failing lens can be immediately rejected without additional tools. With no limit on the number of inspection stations, laboratories enjoy flexible, scalable integration.

TRACKING THE LENS HISTORY
When using the FP/NIMO Integration and the Full Traceability module is enabled, all measured data, pass/fail quality controls, the lens map, the time-stamp and the Operator's name are stored in the Lens History log.
POWERMAP COMPARISON ENGINE
The Powermap Comparison Engine (PCE) in FocalPoints, now available at no extra cost with Lambda-X Nimo interfaces, plays a vital role in High Order Aberration correction by enabling precise evaluation of complex contact lens designs. By comparing theoretical and actual power maps, the PCE ensures exceptional accuracy in lens production. When combined with our proprietary enVisus® HOA Correction feature, HOA evaluation is significantly enhanced, offering next-level precision and quality control.
POWERMAP LIVE CHART
The latest release of the Lambda-X NIMO Integration, brings an useful enhancement: the dynamic visualization of the Cross-Section Powermap. This new feature offers a better experience by presenting the desired cross-section directly on the map, accompanied by its corresponding chart. This dynamic interaction not only streamlines the process but also offers a more intuitive and efficient way to examine the data, empowering users to make informed decisions.
NIMO FAMILY COMPATIBILITY
The FP/NIMO integration is fully compatible with the entire Lambda-X NIMO family of instruments, from the original NIMO to the advanced NIMOevo, and the latest NIMOevo SAG. Regardless of the model, the integration ensures a consistent user experience, seamlessly connecting each device to the FocalPoints environment and enabling streamlined workflows, automated data transfer, and complete traceability across all stages of lens inspection.
INNOVATIVE CONTACT LENS CONTROL
"Based on the patented “Phase Shifting Schlieren” (PSS) technique, the Lambda-X NIMO offers an innovative solution for the control of contact lenses. Through its advanced technology, the NIMO offers the highest resolution amongst all commercially available power-mapping instruments, providing valuable information from every camera pixel."

The NIMO instrument must be running CLE-MENTOR in Production Mode with the Remote API PlugIn enabled. The FP/NIMO integration was completed in 2021 and is supported by all current versions of FocalPoints. Customers should verify that their NIMO software setup includes the required module before initiating integration.
Is the NIMO Integration an additional module?
Yes, each instrument integration is offered as a separate, optional module. The FP/NIMO integration is available as a one-time purchase with no limitations on the number of NIMO instruments that can be connected to the same FocalPoints system. The integration leverages the NIMO Remote API to enable automated, bidirectional data exchange. FocalPoints sends measurement requests directly to NIMO, which returns the results in real time.
Is the FP/NIMO integration difficult to set up?
No, the integration is straightforward and typically requires minimal configuration. Once the correct NIMO software setup is in place (CLE-MENTOR Production Mode with the Remote API PlugIn), our team provides clear installation guidelines and remote support if needed. Most customers are able to complete the setup quickly and begin using the integration immediately.
What are the benefits of the Integration?
The integration enables Operators to perform both qualitative and quantitative inspections directly from within FocalPoints. Lens details, target values, and tolerance ranges are displayed on-screen. If a parameter falls outside specifications, the Operator can immediately flag the lens as a reject, without switching software. In Workshop editions, all inspection data is automatically linked to the job order, ensuring traceability, regulatory compliance, and streamlined quality control.
